Welcome to Evans Map Room!

Named in honor of Barbara and R. Bradford Evans '64, the Map Room collection consists of over 189,000 sheet maps and 3,000 atlases, books, aerial photos, globes, and more. Although, international in scope, the collection has a particularly strong focus on New Hampshire, the Upper Connecticut River Valley, and New England.

What's Inside

Subjects 

Outside of some supersaturated computer software, there is no more concentrated form of data presentation than the map.

Large Format Printing and Scanning

Print

Though not a traditional printing service, Evans Map Room can print your large-format posters with our plotter. Interested? Plan your projects well in advance as this service is quite popular.

Scan

We have a large format scanner. However, there are things we can scan, things we cannot scan, and things you should know before asking us to scan an item.
